Movenote is a great tool that I have discovered recently. You can use it to create video presentations and share them with the people you want. The thing that I like most with the movenote is its being very user-friendly and practical. For instance, I have lots of power point presentations and worksheets in my archive, however, due to time-constraints I never have time to show them in class, and explain the students how to benefit from them. With the help of this video presentation tool, the only thing that I will do is to upload these documents to movenote, and record my message for the students about how to use eachof them outside the class. The result is the creation of an informative and humane message for my lovely students. Here you can learn how to use movenote with the help of a more detailed guideline.
Another distinctive feature of Movenote is that it is integrated to Google, so you can use this service directly using your Gmail account. You can learn how to add movenote application to your Google Drive watching this video. And, of course, the application of the tool is available on Android and iOS.
How to use Movenote
For teachers
- To assign some video projects to students (e.g. take the holiday pictures, and create a video adding your messages to these pictures)
- To create thematically prepared video materials for class use (warm up videos or post activities)
- To give oral feedback to students’ paragraphs or essays
For students
- If the students are working on a collaborative task, they can take photos to show their work and then record what they have done.
- To introduce themselves on the first week of the school (it can be a good start for introverted students)
- To prepare a video presentation about a book that they read.
My next plan is to prepare a video including the ultrasound images of my baby and record my messages for her : ) Hope you will like the application. If you come up with different ideas about using movenote, please do share them with us.
